One never knows where a painting will end up. You sort of hang on for the ride. First step after deciding on the subject is rendering a rough draft in the size you want. A contour drawing works for me. It's based on the family watching a parade. Lots of action and almost a confetti of colors and actions. I liked the idea of light and shadow - cool and warm colors.
